If I use the default Cygwin.bat file, I can enter special characters with the Alt key, but this doesn't work in mintty, unless there's some option I've overlooked.
For example, to enter the copyright symbol (©) in a standard Windows application, including Command Prompt, I can hold down the Alt key and type 0 1 6 9 on the keypad. This doesn't work in mintty. Would this be a reasonable feature to ask for?
